Do you spend hours each month waiting in a restaurant lobby to get seated? Do you spend hundreds of dollars per month paying others to cook secret recipes that you never thought you would be able to cook on your own?

What if you could cook these same recipes without waiting to be seated, at any time, and for a fraction of the cost? Now you can!

Cook the same recipes from your favorite restaurants for friends and family and have them convinced that you've ordered in. They simply will not believe that you've learned the secret, guarded recipes from the best restaurants.

The biscuits at Red Lobster definitely have garlic in them. The version of this recipe we make at home (which are acceptable, but not as good as at the restaurant) ends with brushing the hot biscuits with garlic butter.

Well, I work at Red Lobster while going to school, and the biscuit mix comes pre-made, so I'm not sure there's much of a recipe that many people would know. It comes like bisquick mix in huge boxes, and they just add water, shredded cheese, and then brush with garlic butter when they're done.

Note: Bisquick is just a mixture of all the things the complicated recipes call for in the dry ingredients - flour, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, etc. - they're just already properly proportioned. So, give yourself a break. They're just biscuits. It's the garlic and cheddar that make them special.

I've used the Bisquick + Cheddar + Brushing Butter/Garlic powder version of these for a long time, and it's a reasonable facsimile of the Cheddar bay biscuits, but it's not exactly the same. I happened to go to Red Lobster yesterday and tried to figure out why -- here's what I arrived at -- when you look at the cross-section of the biscuit, you'll see that it's soaked with the garlic-laden butter to a depth of about 1/8 of an an inch all the way around the biscuit. In other words, I don't think they brush the biscuits as they come out of the oven, I think they dunk them instead, or maybe turn them over and give the bottoms a good brushing too.

I suspect Red Lobster has an aerosolizing dispenser (spray bottle) of melted garlic butter always at the ready. Might not even be butter - just garlic butter flavored vegetable oil. It would fit their production level demands. I think dipping would make the biscuits soggy, and be too labor-intensive. They practically give those things away, so they can't be investing too much in them. Such a thing wouldn't be practical in the home, so all the copycat recipes would call for garlic-infused melted butter that's brushed on.
